A flood warning has been issued to Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Assam and West Bengal as a result of probability of heavy rainfall within the foothills of Himalayas over the next four days.
India Meteorological department's (IMD) director common Laxman Singh Rathore mentioned a monsoon trough will convey "heavy" to "very heavy rainfall" in the foothills of Himalayas.
"The rainfall will even result in swelling of rivers Kosi, Gandak and Ghaghara, tributaries of Ganga and all tributaries of Brahmaputra."
This may increasingly almost certainly lead to flooding of plains in East Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Assam and sub-Himalayan elements of West Bengal," Rathore stated, after a high-degree assembly convened by the countrywide disaster management Authority (NDMA).
The assembly was once attended by means of crucial Water commission personnel and resident commissioners of all of the worried states.
He said the states that are more likely to be affected had been asked to be in contact with the worried businesses in case of any exigency.
